To be Strep or not to be strep? That is the question . . .

So, we don't know if Lucas has strep throat. The rapid test is 97% accurate and Dr B thinks that Lucas might be the 3% false negative. Yeah US! Lucas is in pretty good spirits considering he has a temp of 103.3 most of the time. 4hrs after motrin this afternoon at the MD's office- he was 103. Motrin is really doing his JOB. We have to wait until Friday for the old school test (which hopefully is more accurate than 97%). And they are not sure what time they will have the results which is so nice on a friday of a holiday weekend. I really don't want him to be sick ALL weekend. He has already missed 2 days of school. And I am not totally comfortable sending a possible +strep throat kid to school. Wouldn't the parents love me! But if he stops spiking temps, then I will know it is just a virus. So, everybody pray that Lucas gets better and just has the nasty virus that is going around pretending to be strep and not actual strep and going to be miserable for the next 2 days!
